Victoria Ochoa, a deli worker in San Francisco, shares her observations about homelessness and crime in her neighborhood. She notes a rising congregation of people on the west side of Mission Street and points out the prevalent garbage issue. The mobile police command unit's presence has provided some reassurance to local shopkeepers, who report feeling safer and noticing less crowding. However, skepticism remains about its effectiveness in tackling deeper issues related to homelessness and safety beyond creating a sense of security.
Ochoa observed, "On weekdays, more homeless people are on the street with a lot of stuff with them... and on the weekends, more people will sell stuff."
Mo K remarked about the command unit, stating, "The presence makes a lot of people feel safer... but in terms of everything else, it's not gonna stop people from tucking away into the corners."
